What would my "baby'd daddy" have hired a private investigator for?

Question

My son's dad informed me that he has hired a PI who advised him to get a DNA sample as a "precautionary" thing - there has never been a question at all regarding paternity. Other than that why would he possibly want to hire a PI or do a DNA test? I am a upstanding individual, work full time, no trouble ever - What is he hoping to find???

Answer 1

DNA testing can find all kinds of strange things. People don't realize how much has been found in DNA. It's genetic testing and all the markers that could be there. Maybe he wants to see if you have a disease or are genetically marked as high risk in some attempt to argue away your rights.  

Answer 2

Chances are, he's hoping for the long-shot possibility that the kid isn't his, therefore he'll be off the hook for child support.  

Answer 3

maybe its not for you.....now theres something to think about

Answer 4

Anyone who uses the word baby daddy shouldn't be allowed to raise a child.

Answer 5

Perhaps to see if you are abusing or neglecting the child..

Answer 6

Sounds like he has some reason to believe that something is going on.  Is he paying child support? Maybe he is looking to show you unfit, that he is not the father, trying to get out of  paying support, trying to get custody or maybe he is just a JERK!

Answer 7

He might be looking for a way out, and if its not his kid, no strings attached

Answer 8

Why not just ask him? Sounds like you two need to sit down and have a really good talk about things. People don't hire PIs for no reason at all.

I guess he's got some reason to doubt the child isn't his, or else there wouldn't been need of a paternity test.
